Painted in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada
Painted from memory, this painting features the artist smoking salmon at his fish camp, the fish providing food for his family and his dogs through the cold Yukon winter in the bush.
Halin was born in Quebec in 1959. He began painting in oils at the age of ten and abandoned formal education to pursue a career as a painter. Halin arrived in Dawson City, Yukon, by canoe as a young man over forty years ago, armed with his paint brushes, a hunting rifle and a pair of homemade snow shoes. He quickly headed north of Dawson to experience life in the remote Yukon bush, living in cabins of his own construction miles from the nearest road. He settled into a life of running sled dogs, cutting wood and checking his trapline on the Hart River in the Peel Watershed. Halin, married a local First Nation woman and raised his daughter in the bush there, teaching her a traditional life of self sustaining. It is this life that is the common theme through Halin's work.
